Since the first few, I've flagged every wikileaks story that's I've seen on the frontpage because they're almost all rehashes of what's already been on the frontpage, or information you could get from going to cnn.com.

Well... you can use Python & Ruby in the browser if you're not opposed to having your users install Silverlight. (I don't think I'd do this myself, even though I like Python quite a lot.)

Heh, whoever put this together didn't remove the user account stuff. I just created an account there and was able to comment & submit stories. Although, I guess that might have been intended functionality.

I've had high hopes for http://techstartu.ps , but it doesn't really seem to be getting much community traction. HN has become more and more general news and less technical or startup related over the past couple of years, but the last few

Honestly I just use them whenever I feel they're useful. Tabular data goes in tables (including forms for the most part). Everything else goes in a DIV (or SPAN, I guess). That being said, all of my tables are put inside of DIVs for layout.

There may be some merit to that guess; a few minutes on Google shows that all three of the panelists that are being made available to discuss this finding specialize in things like star formation and black holes (although their presence cou

I wonder how much it would cost to start keeping an armed guard on every flight. That's what the Israelis used to do and it seemed like it worked fine for them (they might still do it, but it's been awhile since I've flown through Ben Gurio

Collusion absolutely provides unfair advantages (which is why it's against the rules). Poker is a game of incomplete information. The more information you possess, the better your odds are of making the right decision. So, in the instance o
